[computer-go] computer go tournament

[Don Dailey <drd@xxxxxxx>]

My program botnoid entered the formal division of the computer go
tournament that was played today.

However I couldn't watch it.  I had much going on today and very
hastily set up the kgs client this morning.  I had intended to enter 2
programs, one in the formal division called "botnoid" and one in the
open division called "botnoidx" However, I accidently set up botnoid
twice because I was in a hurry.

A few minutes ago I looked at the results and to play over the games
and I noticed that botnoidx didn't play in the open division.  But in
the formal division, as I replayed the games, I noticed that botnoid
kept announcing itself.  In fact there were some sarcastic and funny
comments such as "we know who you are" etc.

I can only guess that the KGS server got confused since there were 2
versions of the kgsGtp client running with the same login.  I am
actually surprised it worked at all!

I'm reporting it here because probably many of you watched the various
tournament games and also to inform William Shubert and anyone
interested about the issue.
